(Because if you don't have that willingness, the mind-fucking will never stop.)</i></b><br /><br />This is a good list. I've posted this before, and you have recommended this before, but I'd still like to add this to the list:<br /><br /><b><i>5a) Save 5% or more of every paycheck in a high-interest savings account at <a href="http://www.ingdirect.com" rel="nofollow">ING Direct</a> or <a href="http://www.alliantcreditunion.org/" rel="nofollow">Alliant Credit Union</a>.</i></b><br /><br />I know too many artists who live paycheck-to-paycheck, and this interferes with their ability to negotiate better deals and/or walk away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-77234760140064736142010-06-17T23:16:04.790-07:002010-06-17T23:16:04.790-07:00Amigos.

I got an e-mail from a member that I thought was worth sharing.<br /><br />I could spell out for you the good, the bad, and the so-so studios that I go to. I could give you specifics. Some would be spot-on, and some would be three people's opinions.<br /><br />Remember that every studio has 1) the disgruntled and unhappy, 2) the moderately okay, and 3) the happy and content. You know the overall temperature of the studio by the size of each group, but you always have all three groups.Steve Huletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05537689111433326847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-42784976777846386622010-06-17T21:52:27.012-07:002010-06-17T21:52:27.012-07:005:46PM.
